3 Simple Ways To Stop Stressing About Retirement
Life can be stressful. Every day seems filled with a long list of things to do, and time is at a premium. Your retirement plan (if it even makes the list) never seems to be top of mind. But you periodically think about it…and it’s STRESSFUL. Am I doing enough? How do I know? What if the market crashes?
Here are a few ideas that might help you worry less and enjoy life a little more.
- One bite at a time- you know that one, right? How do you eat an elephant? That’s right, one bite at a time! Planning for retirement seems like this gargantuan task. It can be intimidating when you think of it that way. Go easy on yourself. Focusing on one small step is critical. Like Nike said “Just Do It”.
- Focus on what you can control- so many people get caught up in how their investments performed. BAD IDEA. Do your investments match your risk tolerance and time horizon? If so, there are more constructive areas to focus on besides the short-term performance of your investments.
- STOCK MARKET PLUMMETS AS ____________. We’ve all seen something like this headline. You may even enjoy filling in the blank … kinda like Mad Libs (remember those things?). Please, do yourself a favor, and stop taking the headlines so seriously. Remember- they’re trying to sell papers, not much else.
